 Hi!

 First of all, thanks so much for Cyberduck, an amazing program that I'm
 using since 5 years now.
 Today I found something that I consider like a bug. Let me explain:

 Protocol: SFTP
 Distant directory contained files and some symbolic links.

 Action: I uploaded a file with the same name of a symlink and choose to
 replace expecting it would replace the symlink by the file I'm uploading.

 Result: The symbolic link was followed and the file replaced the original
 file in the server, instead of the symbolic link pointing to it.

 I don't know what is your statement on it, but it seems illogical to me
 that the symbolic link is followed in this situation. It leads to a
 potential accidental deletion of files. Fortunately, in my case I had a
 backup.
